vSphere Client - Blank Summary Page on VM

Out of about 20 VMs, I have one that I have an odd problem - google hasn't even heard of it. Whether that's because the solution is obvious and I'm just having a bad day, or because the problem is the result of a misconfiguration on my part, I'm not sure.

When I select the VM, and view any of the tabs (or attempt to open the console) it just sits at "Loading...". If I try clicking on another VM, things work after the request(s) sent to the VM in question time out (no error messages, just a delay).

Environment information:

-ESX vSphere 4, U1

-ESX vCenter Server 4

-Update Manager used to ensure everything is up to date

VM information:

-Windows Server 2003 Std R2

-VMware Tools is the latest version

-Unknown VM hardware level.. can't access the summary page to find it - don't think this matters though

-Nothing unique about this VM over the others

-Role in network is PDC, DHCP, and DNS

Apparently the VMware Tools were bjorked.. after rebooting the VM, things worked normally.

If a moderator could delete this thread, I'd be appreciative.
